A case of fetal cholelithiasis

We report a case of fetal cholelithiasis detected at 37 weeks gestation in a 28 year old primigravida on antenatal ultrasonography (USG). It was a singleton pregnancy with normal liquor volume and no detectable structural anomaly in the fetus. There was no increase in nuchal translucency or abdominal wall defects. The baby was delivered at 38 weeks by caesarean section done for fetal distress on 21 March 2014. The postnatal period was uneventful. The baby received vitamin K injection on the first day of life and was exclusively breast fed. A postnatal USG on the 5 day of life showed persistence of micro-calculi in the gall-bladder (Figure 1).
